she's absolutely stunning, amazing eyes. But I don't like the water. Is it real? A clolse up of her face and red netting would look better

Beautiful catch! Tell me, where do you go for your mermaid fishing? ;0)

I don't understand what it takes to make people see a great photo. This is truly hypnotising, exotic, and stunningly beautiful. Although in all fairness, you have incredible looking models. I always look forward to your work.

Overall a good shot technicially (lighting, exposure, and use of depth of field for separation). But the bottom 1/4 needs to be cropped out, and the top cropped to either to a point where the model's head isn't crowded or a bit further down so that the top of her head is just out of the frame. This would result in a tighter, more dynamic horizontal composition that would play on the triangles formed by the model's pose.

 

The background also needs to be significantly burned-in, since it distracting. This may need to be done selectively, since the curve of the model's back and shoulders is continued on by the rocks sitting underneath the rectangular grayish-blue rock just to the right of the model's head (it's roughly in line with her hairline). That curve has a lot of potential composition-wise, and if you choose to do some burning to emphasize it more, you may not need to crop the bottom as much as I have suggested.

 

I generally do not comment on shots that do not capture my attention, and this one certaintly did. As I said, you have a good shot here; with some editing it has every potential for being a fairly powerful one. When viewing your work (or your subject just before taking a shot), try squinting so you only see the broad tonal values and shapes: this will often indicate how well the composition is working, and what it may need to work better.

Nice shot, the only thing is that it doesn't looke like she is in the water, or maybe it's justme.

Good job

I would say that she is defintely no where near the water! (added afterwards?). But it's hardly noticable, because you have to tear yourself away from her beautiful eyes!

Stinning shot Mark..... chris
